Execute a field value

[TA]

Anyone know of a way to execute the value of a form's
field? (The field value is a valid command-line) Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best,

TA

TA,

Not 100% sure what you mean, but perhaps a RunApp macro would be
applicable?

Steve,

Thanks for your reply. A RunApp macro is exactly what I
had in mind though I can't figure out how to have the
contents of a field (i.e. a field that contains the string
C:\TEMP\GRAPHIC.JPG) to execute. (My database stores
locations of graphic files that I would like to be able
open by pressing a button.) Any further suggestions would
be appreciated.
